there are definitely people that open limp JJ TT AKo in EP at a full table.
Is this common or an anomaly? These were the first 3 hands i discounted from villains range.

[/ QUOTE ]pretty common... at least 50/50 in internet 5/10.
dont worry, i think its pathetic.

JJ and TT have too much set value to raise in early position with 100bb stacks imo. I'd much rather limp in, call the raise and play poker than open and get raised by AA/KK/AK and not have odds to flop a set.

And I'd rather people think I'm weaker than I am than stronger when my hand has real showdown value.

I occasionally limp with these hands as well, for metagame reasons mostly.
